Raid

Raid is one of fourteen original Multiplayer Maps in Call of Duty Black Ops II. This map is set in Hollywood Hills, California, U.S.A. inside of a large compound. Several buildings are placed right near each other and provide very close quarters from area to area. Although, it is possible to use long range weapons at select elevated structures.

Raid is a medium sized map with (as already said above) Long elevated structures and Close-Quarters, Making it very hard to choose a weapon which can fit your needs. This really depends on your playstyle.The two teams who play on Raid are the FBI and the Mercs. The Mercs start off at the bottom south of the map next to the basketball court and up the white stairs. After spawning here you can go three main directions. To the right, to the big circle, To the left and to the swimming pool or right through the middle with the little square in the middle. I would not recommend going through the middle if you are an inexperienced player, or if you do not have a close-quarter loadout. If you are new to this game, Try picking one of the sides will also suit you well. The FBI Starts directly on the other side, On the upper north in the big white building. There are also the three different directions. I would recommend the right because you start higher than the other team and that gives you an advantage above the other team. Again this map is very versatile and diverse on all points.

The objective game modes up next, Dom flag A is located right in front of you if you are a Merc (so next to the basketball court), Flag site B is right in the middle on the little square and flag site C is in the spawn of the FBI. Now for the S & D Sites, Bomb A is near the swimming pool and Bomb B Is near the big circle. The hardpoints are a bit hard to explain, but if you look at the picture above you will find out. The first hardpoint that spawns is the big circle, This is a really annoying hardpoint because everybody is headglitching and using equipment so it's hard to defend and attack it. The second hardpoint is the little square in the middle, Right next to the last hardpoint. The third hardpoint is the FBI Spawn, And i can only think of two more, The basketball court and the little building south to the little square. With most of the Objectives done, Let's move on to the next subject:

Recommended weapons and Class-Setup for Raid

Because this map is so versatile and can change from corner to corner in a different playstyle, It's very hard to have a class to suit the whole map and because of that the Assault rifles and the SMGs will just do you fine if you go through the middle and the right, But on the left side of the map you need something more range-focused like an LMG or a Sniper rifle. You just need to have some experience with this map before you can make your perfect setup.
